UNIVERSITY MATTERS.
The State Board of Regents Consider
Some important uesfions.


lCopyiGtt, 1887, by tie California Assoc,ated Press
SAN Francisco, July 18th Especial.
At a meeting of the Board of Regents OF
the University to-day, Regent Hallidie
read letter addressed by President
Holden to ]. B. Mhoon, the Boards coun-
selor, requesting information on the fol-
lowing questions:
First-Is the Board able to receive the
Lick Observatory when turned over to
them by the Lick Trustees?
Second-Must the unexpended balance
be turned over to the Regents in gold coin,
or other money!
Third-Could the Regents make a loan
to the Society of Pioneers of $l75. 600,
bearing an annual interest of 81 per cent,
instead of lOaning upon United States or
city bonds?
The Secretary read Mr.. Mhoon's re-
sponse His main points were that the
Regents could accept the Observatory as
plus in gold coin, and it was very ques-
tionable whether the amount as turned
over could be invested in any other but
State, city or county bonds, as especially
provided by Mr.. Lick in his trust deed
A long discussion followed the reading of
counsel MhCon's report. Several Regents
argued that the strict letter of the bequest
need not be complied with. as long as the
security for the loan was of an unquesuon-
able character. The matter was finally
referred to the Law Committee, who were
instructed to take especial cognizance of
counsel Mhoon's report. and report at the
next meeting of the Board.

strenuous efforts to secure men to take the

to strike. They accordingly requested the
police to interfere. At each station a
policeman was on duty, but there was no
outbreak.

Large Trees apd Vines,

On the ranch of +. Hubert, near Burson.
Calayeras county, is an apricot tree measur-
ing seven feet and FIVE inches in circum-
ference. This tree is Seeding, and was
planted March 10, 1857. Mr.. Hubert SAYS
the fruit is of superior quality, and that
this year he will gather 1880 pounds of
fruit from this one tree. John Wilder
muth, whose ranch is two miles northeast
of Campo Seco, is quite proud of six fig
trees planted in 1857, the trunks of which
range from six to seven and half feet in
circumference. From them he dries three
crops of figs aggregating 10000 pounds each
year. This gentleman has a special process
of drying the fruit, which, on that account,
brings the top prices in the market. From
these six trees the proprietor realizes over

George w. Cutter, of Campo Seco, has q
number of orange trees which average over
5000 oranges to the tree. This fruit took
the first premium at the State Fair for ex-
cellence of flavor. Matteson & William

Burson which grows a delicate grapevine.
This vine is four feet and five inches around
